http://www.nbcmontana.com/news/irresistible/boy-finds-wwii-plane-with-pilots-remains-in-cockpit/384167567
(CNN) - A 14-year-old Danish boy doing research for a history class found the wreckage of a German World War II plane with the remains of the pilot in the cockpit. Daniel Kristiansen and his father, Klaus, discovered what's believed to be a Messerschmitt fighter plane buried in a field on their farm near Birkelse in northern Denmark. "We went out to the field with a metal detector," Klaus Kristiansen told CNN. "I hoped we might find some old plates or something for Daniel to show in school." Instead, they found bits of plane debris. So they borrowed an excavator from a neighbor and dug down seven or eight meters. "At first we were digging up a lot of dirt with metal fragments in it. Then we suddenly came across bones and pieces of clothes," Kristiansen said. "It was like opening a book from yesterday." Kristiansen remembered being told by his grandfather, who lived on the farm during World War II, that a German plane had crashed there. |

Give the kid an A! Seven or eight meters down? That's a lot of digging. Was that field a swamp when the plane went down?

Wanna bet it was a Bf 109G10 or K4? Long tailwheel is a giveaway. Definitely not a G6, G12 and unlikely a G14.

I read that - they stated they are looking for the relatives and it would be great if they find them but knowing Germany they will not make that public - you know it is for the children |

My Dutch grand father in law said he dug a hole by hand to bury a wrecked German plane. He said they would kill you if they found it on your land so he had no choice. He had some good stories, I just wish I could have spent some more time with him to hear all of them. RIP, Opa

Plane crashed at high speed.
That would explain why the engine wound up so deep in the ground and why it's in a million pieces. |

You'd be surprised how fast and deep a hole a fighter or bomber can dig when it's nosing in at several hundred miles per hour. And you almost always find remains. Been on too many to count, none pleasant.
